    Hi guys.
    I wonder if could be possible downgrade directx11.1 that is installed by default on windows 8.0 and replace it by dx9 or dx10.

    Or a way to use older dx's dlls. Im not sure if just deleting/replacing dlls could work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the replies and help guys!! I want to downgrade just for test how these DX versions perform in 2D apps and games. 3D usually is improved.. but Im not sure if they forgot 2D.. and I would have better experience using DX9 instead upper ones
